WATCH: Florida Couple Discover 300-Pound Alligator in Their Pool

If you know anything about Florida, you know that there are a large sighting of Alligators all year round.

On Tuesday, Sarasota couple Connie and Frank Shaffery were sipping on their cup of coffee when they realized there was a gigantic reptile in their swimming pool. The 9-foot alligator was estimated to be around 300 pounds by Florida Fish and Wildlife, and could be about 15 to 20 years old stated by ABC Action News.

“Frank stood up to look out at the pool and said ‘holy goodness’ or something like that! There was an alligator in the pool,” said Connie, who recorded the wild incident on her cell phone. Neighbors and friends also captured the gator drama for all to witness on Facebook.

The couple was woken by their barking dog 4 a.m., but did not ever think that they would be faced with this issue. Upon the discovery of this huge animal, the Shafferys were on the phone with Kevin Hibler, a licensed state wildlife trapper, to ask for one alligator removal.

“The dog is not that big and we were so lucky that we didn’t let the dog out when he was barking,” she said.

Nevertheless, the enormous animal broke through their screened-in patio. Mr. Shaffery repaired it and said there were no further damages.
